This is going to be a very important game for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers to win. Not only do they need it for the standings, but right now Hamilton is floundering and you do not want to lose to a team that is all out of sorts.

Here is what Hamilton is up against internally.
They fired their Defensive Coordinator and have brought in Chris Jones to fill that role…he has been there less than a week. Hamilton moved on from Bo Levi Mitchell and gave the reins to Powell. However, Powell got injured and Bo is back as the starting quarterback.

As for Winnipeg, Bighill is moved, once again on to the 6 game injured list. On that list includes: FB Michael Chris-Ike, LB Brian Cole, DT Miles Fox, DT Cameron Lawson, OL Patrick Neufeld, LB Lucky Ogbevoen, DB Jamal Parker, WR Dalton Schoen, LB Kyrie Wilson and WR Drew Wolitarsky; some big names still missing games!

For a second week in a row we will see Lucky Whitehead return kicks and take some reps in at slot back, rotating in for Johnson.

How Do The Bombers Feel Ahead of The Game – Source

“Right now for us it’s like we said, ‘Enough is enough. We’re not going to take this any more” – Lawler

“We’ve done enough to keep us in a good spot,” said centre Chris Kolankowski. “We’ve still got a lot of work to do, but it’s not like it’s an insurmountable challenge. We can accomplish it, we just have to finish strong and play like we have for the last handful of games”

The Recipe For Success
For the Bombers to win they do not need to do anything spectacular! Hamilton is not a juggernaut team, with only 2 wins. However, Winnipeg needs to bring their A-Game as any team can win any game.

• Get to Bo early and often – this may be his last chance and he will want to make the most of it
• Cover well down field – make Bo throw bad passes
• Keep Tim White out of the game – he is underutilized and may be one of their best offensive weapons
• Get the fans in it and keep them in it – it is getting really close to a sellout
• Protect Zach – Early in the season the O-Line was suspect
• Win the turnover battle
• Stay away from dummy penalties – Hamilton is the worst in the league for penalties; let them take them and do not get sucked in
• Keep the Bomber D rolling
• Do not play down to your competition

If the Bombers do even most of those things it should be a great night for a Bomber win! However, if they do not use the above recipe, they just may get cooked and burnt by a sub-par Hamilton team.
